Tune Up Your Guitar Tuning

Tuning, one of the key essentials to playing guitar. For the beginner, a guitar tuner is his R2-D2, his right hand man, and most used tool. Some teachers tell students to learn by ear. I say it takes time to tune by ear. Recently I showed a client how to tune by ear and I don't know if he picked it up right away but he did get the concept. Here is a great video explaining how to tune by ear, just in case R2-D2's batteries are running low or you left him out in space some where!


So, I want to encourage you as a guitar player to learn different methods and styles of tuning. It can add a totally different sound to your playing. For the most part, you should stick with what you know and have been taught. Tuning by ear or to the guitar itself is key in helping you match different notes. You'll begin to recognize certain notes throughout your guitar playing journey. This will mold you into a guitar playing machine and rock "god" in no time!!
